About to give up
It will be 3 months this weekend. 3 MONTHS of triple feeding. Trying to get my girl to nurse, while pumping and giving her bottles is soul sucking.
Every feed I try to give her the breast. She refuses, purses her lips, and screams until I give her the bottle. There have been few and far between nursing sessions where she will only go for about 10 minutes and after a weighted feed she only gets 1oz despite me being an over supplier.
I have tried absolutely everything, seen a lactation consultant, have been taking my time and this week I finally broke. I only gave her bottles, bought formula and gave her a couple of bottles with it mixed in because I just don’t want to do this anymore or be tied to the pump.
On the other hand I don’t want her to have formula especially because I am an overproducer, I JUST WANT MY BABY TO NURSE. I cry in the bathroom because I wish I knew the last time she had a decent nursing session was going to be the last time and appreciated it more instead of being frustrated. Life would be so much easier if she would take my boob ☹️ I don’t even know what to do now.
